The Olympic Triathlon has a 1.5 K Swim, 40K Bike and a 10K Run. The Sprint Triathlon has a ¼ mile Swim, 10 mile Bike and a 5K Run.
There were about 600 participants last year and we are planning for 650 this year. Hy-Vee Store will provide the post-race meal for all triathletes. All participants will also receive a technical shirt for coming!! There is a purse prize for the top 5 Male and Female finishers in the Olympic Race. Please see Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
Parking
Parking will be located in the parking lot near Hy-Vee & the IBM building on 37th St NW near the race site. A shuttle bus will be provided on race morning to take participants, volunteers and spectators to the race site. Limited parking will be available closer to the race venue, but is limited. There will be no parking in the Foster Arend Parking lot. Directions and parking areas for Registration, Race Day packet pickup, and Finish line, as well as Start line are designated on the Directions/Parking link.
Course Information
This is a USAT sanctioned event, with USAT officials monitoring all aspects of the race. See Race Rules for more information. The swim course is done by waves in 3 minutes intervals, first the Olympic triathletes, and then Sprint. The bike portion is an out and back on a mix of residential and city area roads. The run is also an out and back that is fairly level terrain. Everyone will be chip timed, using Championchip timing by Final Time, Inc., with split times also recorded.
